About Claudia Burch Dinnell

Claudia is a third generation Native Arizonan. Her love for quilting and sewing began in her early twenties and has blossomed ever since. She was forced into learning /teaching digitizing by her favorite local quilt shop and that experience has changed her life forever! Her creative juices have exploded on the fabric via extraordinary machine embroidery. 

“I travel all over the United States teaching to exciting and enthusiastic students eager to learn new techniques and instructions about machine embroidery. My style of ma-chine embroidery is full of unique fills, outlines, and effects to enhance and adorn the design. “My specialty is taking very large designs, splitting them it into smaller sec-tions, multi-hooping those sections back together, on a single piece of background fabric.” I call this technique “Perfect Placement”. 

I believe it is the most accurate and deliberate method for aligning two or more de-signs together flawlessly. It always gives me a thrill when students create these large masterpieces with such perfection!”
